Dixons Carphone plc (DC.)     

cynic - 30 Jan 2015 11:37 - 32 of 60

this one's had a bad few days following their results, and i would have thought it was now worth a further look
lower petrol prices have certainly given immediate financial benefit to most families, and certainly those who might shop at DC

the nagging caveat of market volatility remains due to the upcoming GE and the likely hung and weak parliament thereafter

Have a look at earnings forecasts.

I took a wee gamble on it and jumped out too early.

But at least I could buy a cup of tea.

(Reducing risk.)

Dixons Carphone signs agreement with Sprint

Dixons Carphone plc, announces that its Connected World Services (CWS) division has entered into an agreement with Sprint Corporation to open and manage a significant number of Sprint-branded stores in the US. Sprint is a leading US mobile network operator with nearly 60 million customers.

In the initial phase, Dixons Carphone will supply mobile phone retail expertise and proprietary knowledge to Sprint who will open approximately 20 retail stores. If these stores prove to be successful, the parties will progress to a second phase which will involve CWS investing equally with Sprint in a joint venture to support rollout plans of up to 500 stores.

During the second phase, Dixons Carphone will invest up to $32 million to obtain a 50% interest in the new venture, and this cash will be used by the business to fund the roll-out and operation of the stores. Dixons Carphone will also provide support across the whole of the Sprint estate as part of a wider know-how sharing arrangement.

Dixons Carphone saw continued strong momentum in the year to the end of April with headline profit before tax up over 17% andgroup like-for-like revenue up 5%.

Group Headline revenue was up 3% on a local currency basis but broadly flat in Sterling terms at £9,738 million (2014/15: £9,750 million). Like-for-like revenue growth was 5% reflecting strong growth in our UK & Ireland, Nordic and Greek businesses. The difference between the total revenue growth on a local currency basis and like-for-like is predominantly due to a reduction in stores in the UK during the year and a decision to reduce low-margin wholesale activity. The Group has continued to grow market share, despite operating in a highly competitive market place.

Headline EBIT was up 13% to £468 million (2014/15: £413 million) driven by the strong operating performance in the UK & Ireland and the delivery of synergy benefits related to the merger.

Headline profit before tax was £447 million (2014/15: £381 million) reflecting 17% growth from the improved EBIT and a lower interest charge year-on-year following the redemption of the bonds previously held by Dixons Retail in August 2014.

Integration of the two businesses is now largely complete with a single head office in each of the countries where Carphone and Dixons overlapped, one logistics and repair centre in the UK and 276 Carphone Warehouse SWAS now open.

A final dividend of 6.50p (2014/15: 6.00p) is proposed, taking total dividends for the year to 9.75p (2014/15: 8.50p), up 15% year-on-year.

Group chief executive Seb James said: "I am very pleased to be announcing another year of significant earnings growth, with profits before tax up more than 17%. In this momentous year we have largely completed our merger activities, driven customer satisfaction and market share to all time highs in virtually all of our markets, made our shops more interactive and exciting while becoming ever more competitive with pure-play retailers, launched a new joint venture in the US, launched a new UK mobile network, and embarked on an ambitious property plan in the UK and Ireland. We also had our biggest ever trading day on Black Friday last year.

"We are far from done, though. We have very ambitious plans this year which include making every one of the former Dixons stores one of the new 3-in-1 shops, introducing a lively and interactive new e-Commerce platform to Carphone Warehouse, opening Europe's most modern distribution centre in Sweden, introducing same-day delivery, rolling out c.150 new stores in the US with Sprint, delivering our honeyBee platform to major global clients, launching our new home services division with a mandate to become a true emergency service for customers across the UK, and continuing to drive market share, price competitiveness and customer satisfaction everywhere. It is likely to be busy.

"I am truly grateful to all of my colleagues - right across the world - for their hard work and dedication. I am also very proud to be able to say that I work alongside such a creative and dedicated group of men and women. "Finally, the nation has spoken and there has been a vote to exit the EU in due course. As you can imagine, we have been giving some thought to this. Our view is that, as the strongest player in our market and despite the volatility that is the inevitable consequence of such change, we expect to find opportunities for additional growth and further consolidate our position as the leader in the UK market."
